Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is hoping for US support for arms deliveries from Germany.
"So that they (Germany) can start delivering what they have and what they aren't using," Zelensky said at a press conference in a Kyiv subway station on Saturday.
He reminds you of this in every conversation with German representatives.
The war is in Ukraine and "you have what you don't need right now, and we need a lot," emphasized the head of state.
Visitors are currently very welcome, but not to take any »selfies«.
“You can't come to us today empty-handed.
We don't just expect gifts or cupcakes.
We expect concrete things and concrete weapons.«
Because of the Russian war of aggression that has been going on for two months, Kyiv is demanding the delivery of heavy weapons from Germany.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is expected to attend a Ukraine conference at the US base in Ramstein in Rhineland-Palatinate on Tuesday.
According to Austin Selenskyj, he is coming to Kyiv this Sunday.
